Dr. Fuller taught for a time at Southern Illinois University-#Carbondale (SaLOOKS!), from which I graduated with a degree in Visual Communication. Sadly that was before my time there, but I have always been fascinated by the man and his ideas. #BuckminsterFuller #geodesicDomes #architecture #design #film #documentary #siu
In the early 20th century, the visionary inventor Buckminster Fuller started looking for ways to improve human shelter by: Applying modern technological know-how to shelter construction. Making shelter more comfortable and efficient.
Community members mobilized in #Carbondale, IL, rallying and then marching on the local police station, where police helped facilitate an event for the far-Right group Turning Point USA, known for its cross over with white nationalists and helping to organize attendees for the attempted pro-Trump coup in DC on January 6th.
The anti-trans event was originally scheduled to be held at Southern Illinois University, but was cancelled after counter-protests were called.
Protesters reportedly rallied outside the police station for over an hour, chanting and banging on windows.
